Plot Description:
Based on hourly observations, this plot displays the frequency of a given variable falling within a set of thresholds. The thresholds are defined by the user and must be in ascending order. The plot is broken down by week of the year. There is an option to control how hours are handled that do not have the given variable reported. This gets thorny with non-continuously monitored / reported variables like wind gust. If you turn that setting off, the weekly totals will add to 100%, but you should not assume that all hours are accounted for or that it represents a true frequency of time.3 Generated Chart
